A woman was charged by Athens-Clarke police after she allegedly stabbed a man during a scuffle.

Phyllis Reed of Reed Street was charged with aggravated assault in connection with the incident, according to police.

Officers responded to a residence on Lombardy Drive on Friday and found the victim bleeding from a cut on his face.

Reed told police she had scuffled with the man, but wasn’t sure how he had gotten injured, according to the report.

She later told police that the victim may have fallen and hurt himself during the scuffle.
